Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Restored Circa 1952 Sheaffer Valiant Snorkel Fountain Pen in the scarce Mandarin Orange color with a two-tone conical 14K nib. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned and put back together and now is in wonderful operating and writing condition.

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition with no chips, cracks, teeth marks or repairs. There are no monograms or personalizations to either the cap or barrel. I have ultrasonically cleaned the Fountain Pen NIB, collar/section, feed, and tube. Hand polished the cap and two-tone 14K Nib. There is no brassing or wear to the cap or the gold filled clip and cap banding. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrel, cap, and blind cap to bring back the vibrancy and to protect the material of the fountain pen. I installed a new silicone sac, o-ring, and point seal - all been replaced with correct reproduction parts. This Sheaffer Pen has been disassembled, cleaned and inspected for any defects before reassembling. The snorkel tube moves freely and draws ink as it should. This Sheaffer Snorkel measures 5 1/2" in length capped and 6 1/2" posted.

The 14K Sheaffer NIB is designated M5 which makes it a Medium Nib. The point measures roughly .62mm when measured with digital calipers. The NIB writes with a medium to broad line/stroke. In the writing sample provided, this NIB stroke measures roughly .56mm to 1.06mm with firm pressure when measuring with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. I have tested the filling mechanism with water and fills as it should. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Parker Quink Blue Ink.

The Touchdown filling system has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned/restored, put back together and added a dab of pure silicone to the Touchdown filling system for ease and smooth operational use. The filling system now has perfect suction and works flawlessly.

Any specks of white in the images are from the cotton that I used to clean the barrel and cap.

This Sheaffer Snorkel Fountain Pen in the High-Cachet and Scarce Mandarin Orange Color. It is in ready to write condition or just add to writing arsenal collection. I would consider this Sheaffer Snorkel Set to easily grade in Excellent+ Condition.
